Talk by internationally known artist, Adam Chodzko, who has been commissioned to make new work in response to Powerstock Common for the Road for the Future project. He will be talking about previous work and the new work he is currently making at Powerstock, illustrated by images and film clips.
Adam Chodzko’s art explores the interactions and possibilities of human behaviour. For this new work, he is interested in the ‘specificity’ of Powerstock Common. ‘It is precisely nowhere else in the world. It is just here. Now. But it exists in its ‘now’ form through a long history of growth and decay. And so I wonder about what those particular transformations might become in the future.’ Imagining the Common’s future, Adam is creating an online collection of videos showing hiding places on this land, making available these very particular sites to anyone, globally, as though, through the act of uploading images of its land, the Common begins to float as an island above the earth.
The FREE talk is from 5pm to 7pm. All welcome. Refreshments are available.
